that just everybody was so excited about into a hideous decline -- >> the house of pain -- >> -- following the single best quarter any bank has ever reported. well, we're adding a new, new check to the list. we have to ask, what would president obama say if he were on the company's conference call? we know, for example, that had he been on the goldman sachs call he would've said congratulations, gentleman, on a great quarter and i'm here to tell you that this is your last good one under my administration. let's not mince words. this market's going down. and it's going down in large part because the president is lashing out at what he perceives as ill-gained corporate profits and greed. >> boo! >> and many of us feel his pain, as in the pain he's inflicting on shareholders. the only constituency in "mad money." so, from now on, we're going to put every stock through that

same exercise, looking for the ones where the president might just say congratulations, without mandating huge future estimate cuts that would send our stocks crashing. i mean, it's not enough that we have one of the most difficult to fathom earnings seasons in history, where fabulous companies like google can report fantastic quarters and get slammed anyway. we now have huge political risks too. huge. while we're at it, let's throw bernanke into the mix. why not? the dems seem to be throwing him under the old grayhound bus. so we have to consider the possibility that the market would get hit with a mega mega selloff. >> sell, sell, sell, sell -- >> if congress makes a fool of the guy turning a flustered bull into an ornery bear in no time flat. even if the betting line here is they have the common sense to

anoint him the best fed chairman in history. people are always stopping me, oh, upbeat guy, positive guy, optimistic guy. they always ask me, what would make me go super negative? and issue number one would be the end of ben bernanke's reign. let's not fool ourselves, he saved the western financial world. we lose him, i think we're going dramatically lower. i wouldn't have dedicated my new book "getting back to even" to bernanke if i thought he was irrelevant. i also don't like the unconfirmed chatter i'm hearing that treasury secretary tim geithner could be gone, too. as obama moves from the practical center to the idealistic left -- okay, look, fdr had to tackle left. what's the excuse for obama? if we lose geithner or bernanke then we could see the first serious correction since the bottom in march. repealing a major chunk of the rally, 1,000 points minimum. we lose one let alone both and the horrible action we've seen

so far this week will look like a picnic hanging rock kind, not the one with william holden. that's why i think it may not be safe to wade back into the stocks until the bernanke confirmation issue is resolved. better to be safe than sorry. so with those incredibly negative caveats in mind, let's take a look at where we can try to save some money, "save" being the operative term, not make, save. this is a capital preservation coming, not an appreciation. first up on monday is apple, okay. the good news, i can't imagine how obama can trash this fantastic company. what would he say? it's too profitable? hey, maybe it makes devices only that rich people can afford. maybe it shall be giving them away. i don't expect him on the call. the bad news, maybe it doesn't matter what apple says. the way this earnings season is going so far, you can't appease

the masses. i say let's wait. on wednesday apple unveils the tablet and the pattern with this stock has been to sell into the new product introductions and buy it back after. let's bet the pattern repeats itself. tuesday, the earnings floodgates opened. and we're going to go into listen-only mode. 12 days a year this business is just too hard to take any action. just 12 days. and tuesday, wednesday, and thursday of next week are a quarter of them. that's right, these are the days when the most companies report. and you simply can't keep up. i want you to consider these days as the no-buy zone. so on tuesday we'll be listening to the managements and hopefully not listening to obama. on corning -- the reason it's called glw because it's the old glassworks. we used to call it glow worms, but they dropped the term glass after corning. and emc, the initials of the three founders. ask we're going to check for demand of technology worldwide.

and we also have nucor, and we have letter x, u.s. steel, which i thought was way up too much this week earlier. and then we're going to hear whether there's any infrastructure spending. maybe it's on the horizon. is china dumping steel? we'll get all of that. and we also have johnson & johnson reporting. okay. now, we candidly fear the white house will be on line one there. savaging the band-aid company, no doubt for price gouging. wednesday's heavy industry day. we find out how the world's gross domestic product's shaken. too many earnings reports to listen to and too much quick draw mcgraw to invoke that icon. we'll learn if boeing is ready to ship the dreamliner on mass. hey, how about c.a.t., would you like to hear whether there's any u.s. pickup or any asian demand. thursday's the worst of all, you're going to get more earnings reports on that day than any other day of the year. and i feel like my mind will explode.

total information overload and it'll cause people to make some of the worst trading decisions imaginable. so, again, i demand you do no buying whatsoever. no buy, no buy, okay? no buy, got me? 3m will teach us about asian demand since it gets so much of its business from that part of the world. we're going to get a war correspondents report from at&t. how's that battle going with verizon? forget obama, put luke wilson on the phone. coal colgate and proctor will tell you us who's doing better sale on toothpaste and deodorant. finally after the close thursday -- you get one of these too, your handwriting gets really bad. amazon, remember this is a market that has gotten really unkind. amazon up 150% going into next week. my advice own it, buckle up, if

you don't by friday afternoon, i think the sellers will have cleared out and you might get a chance to buy amazon at the same discounted price it gives you for books, dvds, and as we'll hear on the call, close. remember, though, no buying until we resolve ben. okay? ben must be resolved. selling's encouraged, buying's forbidden. until we know more. the bottom line -- remember, new game, new rules. the bear in chief now lives in the white house. he seems to favor lower stock prices. so let's wait for hibernation. bernanke's confirmation and the fog of earnings to clear before we pull any machine gun buy tickets, let alone a single shot. nancy in ohio. nancy? >> caller: big ohio boo-yah to you. >> it's good to have an ohio

boo-yah. we need a little buckeye mid-america to start the show. what's up? >> caller: hey, i'm confused, jim. the end of december you listed amd as a buy. and i put a lot of weight on your buy recommendation, and after doing additional research, i ended up buying the stock this last wednesday. then last night just three weeks after you listed it as a buy, you changed your mind and said you listed it as a sell. what gives? >> okay. i recommended it two, four, six, eight, it went to nine and change, i still liked it at nine, i got the great quarter, stock didn't go up much, i said i'm not going to give back the gain i got back from two, and four and six and eight and my goal is to try to make the maximum number of people money as best as i can. and that's why i had to say sell. because i felt that was the last good quarter. i was not impressed with that quarter. they should have done a better job, not me. arthur in new york. arthur?

oh, i'm in one of those moments where i'm so glad that the show is, you know, able to -- no, i'm out here, i'm going. how about arthur in new york? >> caller: boo-yah, jim. >> and who do we have here? is that arthur? >> caller: yeah, it's arthur. >> excellent. >> caller: once again i thank you and your staff for taking my call. this tape has got me a bit rattled. >> i'm thrilled you got through. otherwise i was feeling a little nakey when my daughter was 2 she used to say. >> caller: all right. nordic american tanker. jim, is it all aboard or all hands prepare to abandon ship? >> evacuate the dance floor. here's the thing. i don't like these offerings. why? because the stock was at 32, starting to do well, and then it gets knocked down by all of the new supply. however, mr. herb johanson did buy more ships with it. given the fact he bought more ships with it, it will be additive. he's talking about having a

dividend, it is of some size, i don't like the deal because i don't like new stock. i like what he's getting, though, buying ships accretively. so i'm going to reiterate buy even though as painful as it was to see more supply hit the market on a really nasty day. bad timing by herb jordan. all right. information overload. remember, new game plan, new rules. wait for hibernation, wait for bernanke's confirmation, wait for the fog of earnings to clear before you pull the trigger.

the last three days wall street's felt more like an avenue in stalingrad than a stroll down wall and broad in manhattan. >> the house of pain. >> when the market gets annihilated, i know that your first instinct is to abandon ship, to stop looking up your stocks, to start tearing up your statements, or just to throw in the towel. because it's so darn scary and so darn hard. i know because i've been in your shoes. and for my 30 years in trading, i've felt just about everything i can tell you that right now nobody, this is the most important takeaway, nobody ever made a dime by panicking. that's a rule from the world of investing according to me.

i try to teach you how to handle sell-offs. sell-offs a lot worse than we got hit by this week. there will be worse ones, believe me. the most important thing to keep in mind is you have to stay in the game. but how do you do that when the game seems so miserable? i have a way. it's worked for me. you speculate. i know it's a little counterintuitive. but listen, you look for the small high-risk, high-reward stocks that could potentially deliver massive profits. exciting stocks that most commentators would tell you to stay away from, but they don't care if you're in the market, i do. because i know how good it can be if you get the right ones. i say you must own as a balanced part of investing diet a speculation, as long as you speculate right. never stop looking for great little ideas. future growth stocks, even if it feels like the market's about to blow up. so what have i got for you on speculative friday?

this one's called cogent communications, and the symbol is ccoi. for all you home gamers. don't confuse it with homeland security's coget. cogent communications is the ultimate bandwidth shortage play. even without the mobile internet tsunami, we know that there just isn't enough internet bandwidth to go around with so many people downloading tv shows, social media games, and visiting high quality web sites that are total data hogs. at this point, you know lots of people and businesses are fed up with the high prices and poor service from the big telco carriers that incessant ly push

you to bundle voice, video, and data together. something that not everybody, especially business owners really want. and that's where cogent comes in. this company's in what's known as an alternative carrier. it's founded on the premise that bandwidth can be treated like that commodity. you produce it in high commodities and undercut the competition. cogent was founded back in 1999, starting in 2000, built out its own ip data network totally independent of the voice based carrier networks that you're familiar with. the company built its business by picking up the pieces of the aftermath of the dot com collapse, paying on average 50% discount of the property, plant, and equipment. these acquisitions gave cogent the scale necessary to become what's called a tier one peering partner. what it really means in english, the company can interconnect with other telco providers cost-free. cogent isn't like the other telco providers. it's a company that does something unique. rather than billing its customers for discreet types of

bandwidth use, one price for phone calls, tv, and internet. cogent sells its customers a cheap, all-purpose high-speed connection. something ideal for the small and medium-sized businesses and service providers and other bandwidth intensive organizations in north america and europe that the company serves. what really sets this one apart is one thing and one thing only. it supplies raw bandwidth at roughly 50% below the market price. nobody can undercut these guys. and if you're a medium-sized struggling business trying to cut costs in a network centric business, then cogent, that's your call. they got precisely what you need. with respect to internet traffic expected to grow, small and medium-sized expected $30 billion on telecommunications this year. i think cogent is a company whose time has come. now, obviously i'm not alone because the stock was just a point off the 52-week high at

$11.49 and it's up from 4 at the end of 2008. as a man who made two big promises earlier this month and cogent was upgraded by bank of america last week. i'm not as concerned because cogent traded at over $30 back in 2007. not that worried. that being said, very speculative. got to have the stomach for risk. nobody ever lost money looking for pullback, especially in this tape. don't forget to use limit orders and buy this one in small increments. here's the bottom line, for a terrific way to speculate on the explosive demand and short supply of bandwidth without worry from washington, i think you should take a look at cogent communications, ccoi, the ultralow cost high speed internet provider. after the break, i'll try to save you more money. coming up, which health care plates are ready for the e.r.? dr. cramer examines the sector for the stocks in need of urgent care on an all new sell block. later, whether had the dow soars or hit the floor, jim

helps you try to stay on steady floor on "am i diversified? "

for months we've been saying that we thought health care reform could fail. even as almost everyone else

feared it would turn for-profit companies into nonprofits. we never thought the democrats would be able to get anything but a watered-down bill through congress, one that wouldn't do much damage to most health care stocks that everyone was fleeing from. then we learned about massachusetts, that if scott brown won, like he did, then obama might not have the votes to pass anything. since everyone was focusing on the news rather than on civics 101 and vote counting in the senate, which made serious profit annihilating health care legislation all but an impossibility, we became pro everything health care, including companies we didn't particularly care for because these companies were too cheap. trading at bargain basement prices created by pessimism. trying to get back to the right price even inferior merchandise is worth buying. it can turn this into this. i told you to buy all the hmos, everything from cramer faved

wellpoint to humana. also gave permission to buy unbelievably rehab care, rhb, a solid rehabilitation facility operator in spite of its massive medicare exposure. and you know what? we were right. we were dead right. we caught the big move up in health care. so what do you do when you caught a big move up and you didn't really like the stocks? you ring the register. you ring the register on your least favorite names on the group and you focus on some of the others that you actually liked with or without health care reform. and that's the subject of tonight's sell block. i'm telling you you have to take profits in humana, in u & h, despite that good quarter yesterday, and rehab care. and i'm going to tell you why. the main reason to sell these stocks simply that the easy money has been made. and it is time to stop being

greedy. okay? ring the register. if you bought these stocks, you have enormous gains, u & h up 103%. since 2009 lows. h huemana up 107%. rehab care up 141%. and it's up 12% since we recommended it on november 19th. technically we're not putting these three stocks on the sell block, they don't deserve that. we're simply saying that when you hold your nose and buy merchandise betting it's priced incorrectly and your bet pays off, then it's time to get out, otherwise you're being a pig. bulls make money, bears make money, pigs get slaughtered. we also want to take advantage of the goldman sachs upgrade. and you do not look gift horses in the mouth. and there's a second reason i'm focussed on selling humana and rehab care. these three companies have a lot of exposure to medicare, which had will need to be cut thanks to our huge government deficits.

now it looks like health care reform is doa, dead on arrival and clear to everyone that it's also dnr, as in do not resuscitate, the chans for further medicare cuts are likely because the government won't be get gt proposed tax money to keep it going at the same levels. i pick up the paper and say i've got to make this the sell block. this is page a-5 of today's "wall street journal." insurers now focus of health talks. mentions the companies beholden to medicare and medicaid could be in a jam. why take the chance with these stocks with that medicare exposure? now, we're not abandoning the whole health care group. we like drug companies with growth and juicy dividends. that's like bristol myers, 5% yield, which my charitable trust owns. we like wellpoint, the least affected by washington. and it's already up 35% since we recommended it october 29th at 47.50, i think it can trade at

90 before it gets too expensive. we also like cov, the diagnostic and preventive medicine medical device play, just reported a stellar quarter on wednesday. up 20% since we recommended it october 27th. these didn't shoot up in anticipation of the watering down or death of health care reform, they had other positives and that's why they can still be owned. here's the bottom line. the declining tide of obama care has lifted all of the health care stocks to levels we no longer feel comfortable recommending. ring the register on u & h, humana and rehab care. but if you want to stick with a group, you can own bristol-myers, and wellpoint as they look like they have room to run. let's go to alex in arkansas, please. alex? >> caller: hey, jim, i want to give you a big pig boo-yah. i want to know your thoughts on cyta and how obama's policy might affect it. can you help me out with that? >> i think that's a spec play. i don't think you have that much to worry about. you're going to be much more worried about -- he's not against -- this is one i'd be

more worried about under the previous administration. because it does stem cells from fat tissue. i think this is the kind of company that is embraced by this administration. i'm not going to sweat the program with it. how about chuck in california? chuck? >> caller: big boo-yah. from the rainy state of california. >> grim boo-yah. >> caller: i'm a new investor and i recently got in on alo therapeutics and i bought it, and it keeps going up. i bought it at 5.89. and i have a feeling when the drug comes out it's going to take a nice spike. >> i don't know about that. i think we've all been -- first of all, you know i recommended it several times, i think it does a terrific job. but when drugs get approved, they tend to sell off. so you've got a nice gain, you might want to ring the register on some and let the rest run. let's go to blair in nevada, please. blair? >> caller: boo-yah, jim, from las vegas, home of the world series of poker.

>> and many other things, boo-yah, what's up? >> caller: jim, i've never owned a medical stock. my first choice is salex pharmaceutical. >> oh, boy. we liked that when the show first began. it's got some pretty interesting drugs, it has moved up tremendously because of this -- there's a drug it's got. my take is this -- in this particular market when you like something that's much, much lower and not this much. and this is a very rough tape. i think you take a little something off the top there. it's time to ring the register on some of these health care names. united health, humana, and rehab care. big gains. come on, don't give them back. stay with bristol-myers, cov, and wellpoint. because the stories don't need health care reform and can do just fine without government help. stay with cramer. coming up, instant access to the prodigy of prophets on an all new lightning round. plus, how do your stocks stack up in a mystifying market? cramer makes sure your portfolio

good yield, not too sure about the prospects. north american tanker, we covered that, did do an offering at $30, but bought ships, it's going to be additive. i'm not happy about the equity offerings. staples is the retailer, at&t, they report next week, hope it's good, but hope should be left to the ballpark, not for earnings. and wind is the high-yielding natural gas play. we've got a shipper, financial, retailer, telco, and natural gas pipeline with exploration, i think that's terrific, i say hallelujah no changes needed. taylor in texas. taylor? >> caller: how about a tcu boo-yah. >> tcu boo-yah, first time we've had tcu. quite a club. what do you got? >> caller: i've got a speck play i want you to elaborate on if you've got a few seconds. stocks are citigroup, c, central european, cedc, cypress semi, cy, chevron, cvx, dry ships,

drys. the spec play is -- >> you only like to buy stocks that begin with c except for d. that's all right, we can deal with that. a little alphabetical. i want to call the next show america's post market show the es and fs. chevron, i like that, it's one of my oil plays. cypress, look, reports next week, that's t.j. rogers, they do the touch screens on a lot of the smartphones. we're all over that. citigroup, one of the least affected by president obama's plan to try to punish private equity. they borrowed much less than goldman, jpmorgan. look, i think it's a decent speck. more than morgan stanley, i should say. cdc are, this distribution liquor company should be okay. diagio, rather see you there. dry ships, that is not my favorite. i prefer diana for bulk. we have an oil company, european

liquor distributor, a tank, and a shipper, a bank. i can live with that. i think you ought to make that change because d, dry is not as good as diana. let's take another. victoria in texas. victoria? >> caller: hey, jim, a first time i've ever said it out loud, boo-yah. >> holy cow. given it''s the first time, sounds like you've been doing it a long time. first time long time. go ahead. >> caller: first time. how did i do? >> all right. how are you? >> caller: good. so i have apple. >> okay. >> caller: i have chevron. >> chevron. a lot of people own that one today. >> caller: i have nordic american tanker. >> a lot of repeat business. okay. >> caller: and pfizer. >> i've got four there.

apple, chevron, nordic, and pfizer >> caller: i'm afraid i'm going to get the buzzer from you because it's tech. >> that's the little buzzer. pfizer, we went positive when we knew health care reform wasn't going to pass. we're sticking with pfizer because we think it's a better year coming. chevron we endorsed that, oil company. we think it's terrific. nordic american tankers, did that underwriting, we're not against it because he's buying something, we don't like supply. microsoft, apple, absolutely right, even time you're a first-time caller. you can't unbuckle them. apple reports monday. i think apple's going to be a great quarter. doesn't matter. microsoft reports at the end of the week. i think it's a terrific quarter. what i would do is keep the apple, get ready for downdraft. get rid of the microsoft and, yes, once again, i'll suggest a beaten-down regional bank because they don't all deserve to be down like that. all our players played well. they also knew their mistakes ahead of time everyone's learning, stay with cramer.
